This jewelry art sculptural pendant was handmade in wax by Fred and then cast in
sterling silver. Years of experience carving clay portraits
combined with teaching the head in clay gave Fred the ability to
carve portraiture in miniature, a difficult task. After carving
the mermaid in wax we made a rubber mold into which wax was
injected to be cast in silver. The bumps on the tail are
problematic for they do not inject well creating air pockets,
consequently preventing full wax inclusion. Bumps are then
reworked by hand in the wax stage.
